India and Sri Lanka will lock horns in the first Test of their two-match series at the Galle International Stadium from Saturday, August 15. The match is part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle and carries great importance for both teams.

With the WTC final race already heating up, neither side can afford to drop points in this series. India are currently fifth in the WTC standings with a points percentage of 48.15%, while Sri Lanka are sixth with 41.67%.

The series is particularly important for India because this will be their first Test tour of Sri Lanka since 2017.  Shubman Gill-led India will enter the first Test without some important names. Jasprit Bumrah will not be available, while young batter Sai Sudharsan is also ruled out of the series due to injury.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka will be without Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka.

So, having said this, in this article, let's take a look at the live streaming details for the much-awaited IND vs SL 1st Test of the India Tour Of Sri Lanka 2026.
